lilym190,

Post your results on here for some advice.
Get a copy from the lab if your Dr won't give them to you.
It's your right to have them.

Couldn't agree more with ten bob, the test results belong to you, no doctor can ethically refuse to give them to you. And I would advise you keep looking for a doc who knows about thyroid, after my own experience. Was prescribed Thyroxine for years, told I needed it by an experienced endocrinologist at the hospital. In January this year I became suspicious that my sluggish brain/foggy head and general lack of zest for life and coping, might be due to the med. Decided to stop taking it for a week to see what happened, and now I refuse to take it ever again! Endocrinologist was very unhappy with me, but I felt so good (clear mind and eyes, loads of energy) - I agreed to have monthly blood tests for 6 months, all of which showed my thyroid function to be fine, without any thyroxine medication! Haven't seen the endocrinologist again yet, but I'm not really in a hurry to either.

Hi Nicoliz, Are you overactive/underactive or no gland at all?

I had my thyrode removed many years ago,and was told that I would need to take Levothyroxine for the rest of my life. I have only ever seen the small pills, is there an ad/disadvantage in the larger ones?

Hi Muppy, I was originally told that my thyroid was underactive, and put on the Thyroxine. After I stopped taking it last January I did see the endocrinlogist once, and agreed to have the monthly blood tests, which were all within normal levels. He did say though, at that appointment a year ago, that I had "had the antibodies, but maybe your thyroid isn't affected". Apparently if you have the antibodies you usually do become hypothyroid, it seems that with me he didn't wait to see which way things would go and prescribed the thyroxine anyway. Turns out I'm not hypothyroid after all, just have the antibodies.
